The sun is out. The air is perfect. Birds are singing. All green lights. Miraculous things happen...
Today was that day. Today was Sandwich day.
After our Alcatraz showers, which involved 20 seconds of water between button pushes and tiny, beady spider eyes watching us shower... Erica and I left for the little town of Sandwich in Cape Cod.
By the time we reached Sandwich, we were ready for some lunch. But first, we stopped at the post office. When Erica and I stepped out of the car, we were immediately greeted by cool, fall weather (in mid-June) and a warm, "Good morning," from a happy, old person. The passersby were in such good moods. It was contagious. We felt like we had taken a step back into a '50s sitcom.
When we got into the heart of the town, we easily found a parking spot and began searching for a place to eat. Erica and I found this cute bed and breakfast called the Painted Lady. The setting was absolutely quaint. They had a table for us out on the front porch where we could watch people walking up and down the street. We split spicy chicken quesadillas and a salmon salad. Oh, and I got attacked by a very sweet, very bipolar cat.
After that experience, we went to a coffee shop called Paul's Bagel and Bean. Excellent coffee. The owner told us about a boardwalk not too far from there that we could go to. He said it stretched over this pretty marshland and that it was a local secret. Erica and I hung around for a while writing some postcards and reading our Bibles. It was so relaxing and peaceful.
After that, we went window shopping around the small town.
In this stationery store, the women working there talked with us for a while. They were so nice! We walked over to an old gristmill but, unfortunately, it was closed. So beautiful, though.
Then, onto a beautiful surprise: The Sandwich Boardwalk. The guy at the coffee shop told us the parking and entrance were free, so we said, why not? What we were expecting was a boardwalk over the marsh-- which, there was.
What we didn't expect was the beautiful, sandy, rocky, blue ocean on the other side! I couldn't believe it! Such beauty!
We put our feet in the Atlantic Ocean and collected colorful rocks. We walked along the beach. It was so peaceful. We loved it!

We definitely want to go back.  Plus, Erica saw her first blue ocean! Cool! After Sandwich, we got stuff for hotdogs and s'mores at the campsite. We built our own fire, yes, by ourselves, and had great conversation.     Yay day! P.S. No movie tonight. |
Meagan & Erica,
ReplyDeleteYou guys have done an awesome job of keeping some of us home bodies in the loop of adventuere and life on the road of life. Thnaks for including me and the rest of some of the "Sweat Team", "Bible Studiers". If you get this, Dave Frances and the Boys are back! Praise God for them. Tracy Martin is about to do three weeks of a new study that, up to now, has been taught very little. It's about a last days prophecy that is unfulfilled, but mostlikely prior to the tribulation. It connected together by Obidiah and Ezekiel 38??, I think. But the Author, John Piper??, has run his thoughts about what he thinks he has seen and linked together, by some of the professors at DTS. They have evidently not discouraged his writing and speaking on the matter evidently.
Lastly, I'm answering this in Feb because I put this blog aside and said I'll read and answer that one later. Well, here's the answer and it is later. ......... Hope it reaches both of you, and may God's grace be shining on you pathes.
"Teamer, Steve Stone
Hey Steve! Thanks for catching me up. :) That is quite interesting. You'll have to fill me in on this prophecy. I'm super curious now. I did hear that Dave and family are back. So exciting! I'm looking forward to a time when I can come back and visit. Sounds like you're doing well! Keep in Touch.
